Jennifer Lawrence Can’t Stop Falling Down At The Oscars

We're not sure yet whether Jennifer Lawrence will score another Oscar at the 86th Academy Awards, but it looks like history did repeat itself in at least one way: the "American Hustle" star took a little tumble on the Red Carpet.

Quick, someone break out the Doritos — looks like J-Law could use some serious comfort food.

Last year, Lawrence bit it when going up to accept her Best Actress Oscar for "Silver Linings Playbook." Always the classy lady, however, the actress made her spill look a high-class perfume ad rather than a full-on face-plant.

This year, after stepping out on the carpet in a chic red dress and sky-high hair reminiscent of her character's bouffant in "American Hustle," Lawrence ate floor once more.

Luckily, someone caught the stumble on Vine so that we can watch Lawrence being adorably human over and over and over again. Is that Daft Punk we see giving her a hand? Or is it Robocop?

Lawrence is up for the Oscar for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for "American Hustle" tonight (March 2), so we'll have to see if history continues to repeat itself.

In the meantime, could someone get this girl some sneaks?

Anna Kendrick, Kristen Bell Get Ready For Oscars With Burritos And Eggos

It is unclear what takes longer: for Johnny Depp to transform into the old man version of himself in "The Lone Ranger" (a feat that secured his makeup team an Oscar nomination) or for the average starlet to get ready for Sunday's (March 2) 2014 Academy Awards, which start at 8:30 p.m. ET.

The pre-Oscar primping process has with actors preparing for their big moment before a worldwide audience. And thanks to the TMI-infused magic of social media, stars are giving us a glimpse at the process (somewhere, the stars of Hollywood's Golden Era are collectively rolling in their graves).

Anna Kendrick
For Anna Kendrick, she sent out a tweet that read, hilariously, "Pre-Oscars routine is mostly Eggos and Law & Order SVU. #glamour."

Pharrell
Pharrell, who is nominated for Best Song (and whose new album drops at midnight on iTunes), posted a photo on Instagram of him getting a last-minute haircut.

Michael B. Jordan Michael B. Jordan posted a photo of his Oscar ticket (nice font).

Jessica Biel
And Jessica Biel did the same!

Bette Midler
Bette Midler drolly noted "Strife. Turmoil. Chaos. Not the Ukraine. Hair and makeup @AcademyAwards!"

Kristen Bell
Kristen Bell, the once and future "Veronica Mars," let us in on a red carpet secret, when she posted a photo of her handbag to Twitter with the caption: "When you see me on the red carpet of the Oscars tonight, just know... there's a burrito in my clutch." Hey, it's easy to understand why — it's a long-ass ceremony!

Lupita Nyong'o
Meanwhile, Best Supporting Actress shoo-in Lupita Nyong'o kept things mysterious, giving a sneak peek of her jewelry. She ...

‘The Walking Dead’: Predictions For Tonight’s Episode ‘Still’

"The Walking Dead" always dishes out heavy doses of death. Tonight, it'll dish out heavy doses of Deth.

By "Deth," we mean Daryl and Beth, the cutest couple currently kicking around the zombie apocalypse. The groundwork is there for the reformed bad boy and the grieving daughter of Headless Hershel to step outside the "Friend Zone" and become something more — but will we see those romantic wheels in motion on Sunday's (March 2) episode, titled "Still"?

Here are our predictions for what will happen tonight:


1. Daryl and Beth will take center stage. That's a pretty easy conclusion to arrive at, given what we've seen from previews of tonight's episode. Daryl and Beth have only appeared in one episode since "Walking Dead" returned from its hiatus, and even then, they were only around for about 10 minutes. It's time to let everyone's favorite Cross-Bro take a more central role in the apocalyptic shenanigans.

But what are Daryl and Beth in store for this week? Can we expect to see the two grow even closer in the thick of all the action? As I said, the groundwork is there: The two shared an oddly tender moment in the season premiere, when Daryl informed Beth that her boyfriend Zach was killed during a supply run. As far as they know, Daryl and Beth are the only survivors of the prison raid — the only two people left alive in the world, as far as they're concerned. Plus, he's hot, and she's hot. It's a perfect recipe for sexy times.

Even if Daryl and Beth ...

Oscars Debate: Does Jennifer Lawrence Deserve To Repeat?

Of all the major categories set for Sunday night's 86th Academy Awards, the race for Best Supporting Actress might be the toughest to call right now. Newcomer Lupita Nyong'o from "12 Years a Slave" and last year's Best Actress winner Jennifer Lawrence in "American Hustle" have gone back and forth as favorites throughout awards season, and neither has emerged as the clear favorite for the Oscar.

Both camps of supporters are fervent in their support, so before the start of the big night, we decided to have one last debate to see if this could be settled ahead of time and before anyone's feels got hurt. Who deserves the Oscar? It's time for a good old-fashioned awards debate!

Kevin: This isn't going to be easy, but it's something we need to talk about before Sunday. Jennifer Lawrence shouldn't win for Best Supporting Actress this year. Now before you say anything, you need to know that like any red-blooded American, I love JLaw and think she absolutely deserved to win last year. But that's the thing. She already got an Oscar for her performance in "American Hustle." They gave it to her last year for a movie called "Silver Linings Playbook." Her part in "American Hustle" hit a lot of the same notes as Tiffany but took away a lot of the depth. Lawrence is going to have a long career filled with Oscar nominations. Shouldn't we wait until she kills it in a role that doesn't feel so similar to honor her again?

Taylor Swift’s New Bestie Is An Oscar Legend And 16 Other Things We Learned This Weekend

Over the weekend, there were a whole host of lavish parties and smaller awards ceremonies, which allowed for almost all of the nominated stars and creatives to strut their stuff one last time before the big Oscars show.

But you didn't have to be a nominee to get in on the action, which is why Taylor Swift made a new friend on Saturday night. She wasn't the only one. With the Independent Spirit Awards on Saturday and the Oscars only hours away, almost every big movie studio worth its salt have been having one last round of lavish parties, with all of the stars in attendance(since they're already in town).

Of course, when unreasonably attractive movie stars amass at a handful of centralized locations, there are usually photographers present. With that in mind, we wanted to run down TK of the very best photos from these pre-Oscar parties, awards shows, and soirées.

1. At a Weinstein Company pre-Oscar party, Meryl Streep hung out with Taylor Swift. Also Jaime King was there.

2. We love this photo, mostly for Lupita's amazing pop art dress and Brad Pitt's weird hair. Also: Angelina is quite attractive, no?

3. Upside: handsome nominee Michael Fassbender attended the Fox Searchlight pre-Oscar party with his "12 Years a Slave" director Steve McQueen. Downside: his facial hair uncomfortably reminds us of his a-hole character from the movie.

4. "Nebraska" star Will Forte and Rosario Dawson, whose role in "Trance" was one of last year's most talked about (just look it up), ...
